i want to help you make those weekend plans, the microclimates will come into play. 5:08. we'll talk about that. first let's check your drive. >> good morning. to the east shore freeway, we're looking at eastbound 80, that's away from the bridge, it's west 580, a little confusing but we'll show you heading away from the bridge at gilman, reports of an earlier hit and run, if you saw anything in the area, give chp a call. 24, your typical construction through orinda, 880 through oakland, both directions, south of 980 and no slowing there on that side of the bay. san francisco eastbound, fourth street we have construction there, typical, no problems out of the city, getting flew the city the giants play the dodgers tonight. expect typical closures after the game for king street. a look at the san mateo bridge, no problems, taillights your commute direction. >> thanks, mike. >> 5:09. coming up, how about a lawsuit here with a side of fast food. why attorneys now say

>> welcome back everybody on a friday morning. live shot down from jacksonville, florida, beautiful out there but actually, being reported as the calm before a potential storm. they are awaiting a possible hurricane out there on the east coast, you see the waves starting to kick up. they will be bracing for potential weather conditions. we'll keep you posted on that. this morning the attorneys in

the discrimination suit filed against in-n-out burger hope more will come forward. the suit was filed this week on behalf of two african-american men over the age of 40 denied employment by in-n-out. the attorneys say both of the clients were qualified for the jobs that they applied for and the attorney believes he has a solid case against the popular chain. >> we believe their story since necessarily an outliar, it's a much more larger practice that the company is engaging in. >> in response the company's vice president and general counsel is quoted saying, we hire from our local communities and our restaurants reflect the demographics of that community. the company will aggressively defend itself against these baseless and irresponsible allegations. in-n-out h in-n-out is paying its entry level employees more than

minimum wage. >> a little more than 15 minutes from now the labor department will announce the latest jobs numbers. scott, you tell us month after month to ignore the unemployment rate. >> yeah. concentrate on the jobs gains instead. that's what really tells us what's going on. today, laura, i am suspending that advice. why? because politicians on both sides will be concentrating on the unemployment rate. it's an easier number to deal with and analysts like to point out no president since fdr has been re-elected when the unemployment rate is over 5%. or 8%, rather. problematic for president obama dealing with 8.3%. 163,000 jobs added to the economy last m. let's check in with courtney reagan at cnbc. a big rally yesterday, big important jobs numbers today. >> yes, that's right. futures are higher now after yesterday's huge rally so it could be more of a carry over from that, anticipation of the

jobs report and yesterday's rally was sparked by the european central bank which launched a stimulus program to buy up billions in bonds from countries like spain and italy. today's focus as you suggested does turn back to the u.s. economy, with the monthly jobs report, that's in less than 15 minutes from now. forecast calls for another month of modest growth in august, about 125,000 new jobs added. like you were explaining, there are two numbers to pay attention to. the number of jobs gained and the unemployment rate and they come from two surveys. more jobs added and the unemployment rate can stay the same or even go up, and this time around it's expected to hold at 8.3% like you said, the jobless rate has been above 8% for 42 straight months. the dow jumped 244 points yesterday to 13,292, that's a new 4 1/2 year high, the nasdaq rose to 3135, that's the highest level in more than 12 years, welcome back to the year 2000.

if not impossible for a new e-book tablet to come out into the market. big guys will drive them out of business. amazon has proved it's willing to take a loss to increase market share so. when this price goes down, that's the downside of that. >> interesting to see. thanks so much. >> 5:17. what we're focusing on is the weekend and what kind of weather. >> it's going to be nice. it is going to be so nice. all the cities, yeah, you know what i mean, that's what i like to tell you. pretty soon i have to tell you it's going to be raining on your weekend plans so you want to put all things into perspective. 55 in concord. we're at 55 in livermore and 56 degrees in san jose. so what i can tell you is that muggy conditions, all of that humidity we had to deal with, is drying out nicely. we still have a little bit of moisture lingering to the south. and so it might be sticky for the first part of the day. what's happening is high pressure is moving in. we'll be back to our dry heat today and temperatures aren't going to be that hot even in the

warmest cities across the bay area. it will be a little on the warm side, livermore about 88 degrees. as we head through your friday, temperatures will be nice to start. we're going to see clear conditions off the bat. san francisco, 66 degrees with abundant sunshine by about 9:00 a.m. 78 degrees today in redwood city. 71 in santa cruz. 78 in san jose. that's the kind of weather you want to the go out and jog in. you want to take that walk because once it's a little warmer next week, we're going to be back in the mid 90s. it won't be as invigorating for you. you won't have as much incentive. 83 on saturday. you see that extra boost when it comes to exercise. 89 on monday. then we get hot again, tuesday into wednesday next week. back to the 90s, mid-90s on thursday. overall the kids are back in school next week. you want to make sure you're dressing them for the two parts of the day as it's chilly in the morning. 5:18. let's check your drive. hi, mike. >> good morning. we'll look to san jose. the volume of traffic starting

be the clearest choice in a generation that there are two different visions for the country. he said that the hope that he talked about four years ago has been tested now and he's focusing on the middle class, offering tax breaks for the middle class, not for the wealthy in this country. he talked about criticism from republicans that democrats want big government. he said that government programs he acknowledges can't fix everything and also said that the path ahead won't be easy creating jobs, fixing education, innovation, he said it's not going to be easy but that america is moving forward and he believes that there are ways to continue moving forward is to vote democratic in november. >> a couple of big weeks. today the new jobs numbers out. how do you anticipate this will affect the campaign? >> reporter: you're going to hear from republicans later for sure. the unemployment rate dropped.

while that's a good thing, it dropped because fewer people are looking for work, more are just giving up. also 96,000 jobs created last month, not on pace with what we need to see. we're averaging less than last year, that's going to reflect negatively as the president is out campaigning saying we're moving forward but the numbers seem to dpaet we're moving forward we're doing it very, very slowly. >> a big part of the campaign. thank you for the update. >> hoping for a quick recovery from brandon mccarthy recovering this morning after emergency surgery. he was rushed to the hospital after, take a look at that, it is so tough to watch. he was hit by a line drive during wednesday's game. a ct scan showed he had an epidural hemorrhage and skull fracture. he had surgery to try to relieve the pressure in his skull. he is still in the hospital. >> we wish him well.

keep that in mind. a look at palo alto, we see 101 moving in the northbound direction here, south bound in the center divide, there is a stall, chp heading in to help out. it's out of lanes but over to the right if you can allow them a little breathing. we're looking to the foster city side of the san mateo bridge. a smooth drive. picking up the volume but not lowering the speeds for 92 across the water and looking across the bay, oakland 880 moves as well. here is your northbound commute and smooth at the limit through downtown, the toll plaza with no backups. back to you. >> thank you. 5:48. former governor arnold schwarzenegger may be in trouble with the law. sacramento judge will hear arguments on whether he violated state law when he reduced the prison sentence of the son of a political ally. he failed to tell the victim's family before reducing the sentence from 16 years to 7.
